Treating ear mite in hens

One of my hens keeps shaking her head I think she may have ear mites :roll: how do I treat ?

Will frontline be the best option ?

Scroll down a bit to her quote.

You have ruled other things out first I suppose Rich. One of my hens was shaking her head a lot and scratching the side of her face with her claws. I discovered she'd blocked her nose up with mud :roll:

Cant see any blockages but I'll rugby tackle her and have a look see :roll: anything else that may cause it ?

|Have a good look before you treat with frontine as you will have to have an egg withdrawal time. I expect it would be difficult to ascertain which eggs she lays too !
